Gifted and Lifted: A Long Journey

Much empathy, certain,
The length truly seems,
To lay and be flirtin’,
The smile just beams.

Soul is much stronger,
The layaway proud.
Couldn’t be longer
Than fixer-up’s cloud.

Smoother than normal,
Such silky relief -
Never seems formal,
Perchance falls the leaf.

The pain so developed,
Now dealing with scars.
God’s worthy, enveloped,
More truth seeking pars.

Such injuries waver -
The time sorely missed.
Returns, though, we savor,
And sun-baked, we’re kissed.
